This BlncksAawk.

The Blackhawk mine at Marietta is
now worked by Joe Meiring under a
lease fro IN the owner, L. P Figg, of
Sacramento. There are seven men
al work and the ore taken out PAYS
very good profit for the labor. This
mine mas now been worked almost
continuously for eleven years and
although never yielding any large
fortune to those who worked 1t, has
always paid well. 1t has always been
worked under a lease. All but one
of the lessees have left II with money,
and each one quit under the impress
sion that the mine was exhausted.
Groves and kIlfoyle took lease in
1877 and cleared $1,000. Thinking
the claim was worked out they aban
doned the lease before the time was
up. Wells, Taylor and. Mclaughlin
took the mine and made great deal
of money for several years. Wells
early in the lease sold out his interest
tor large sum of money and
went away. Taylor and Mclaughlin
continued making money until Bro
ply killed Mclaughlin in Bellville.
After the death of Mclaughlin ray.
Tor continued to work and made
enough money to live very fast life
until he was killed by his own pistol
which dropped from his pocket and
was discharged, sending the ball into
his bowels. For short time before
Taylor died 1t was supposed that the
mine had been finally worked out.
After Taylor's death Stansfield took a
lease for a year, and although max
ing expenses made no large profit
This was the only lease that did NOT
pay well. After the Stansfield lease,
Fred Olemstead took the mine and
cleared $4,000, which he took away
with him. He also supposed that he
had taken all the ore out and turned
1t over TO McKewen and Sproule be-
fore his time had expired. These men
ran the expired lease, and did well
until within a short time of the termi.
nation of the lease, when again the
mine appeared to be cleaned up.
During the last lease shaft 270
feet deep had been filled up with waste
and again the mine was apparently
valueless. When Meiring began work
under his lease, he began u tunnel
south from the old workings on a
ledge of low. grade ore, and as the
tunnel advances the ore gets richer
so there is now promise that the
Blackhawk will continue its profit.
able story for long time, and its past
history will cause considerable hest.
tation before the opinion is again ex.
pressed that it is worked out Tor good.

The Modoc claim which John War
ner is now working is liable to make
great deal of business for this sec
ton. 1t is lead silver ledge situated
south of the railroad about two and
one half miles from the Lapanta,
Warner and few men have | cen
working on the ledge for some time
and the openings so far have all been
very promising There is what is
estimated as an average of two feet
of ledge which is good in silver and
fat with lead and If it continues as it
shows at present most valuable mine
will be opened; mine, which will
not only be valuable to the owners but
will also be of benefit to other mine
owners, as It's lead in connection with
other lead claims under development
will induce capital to put up reduc
tion works in this section. A suffici-
ent quantity of lead as a certain sup.
ply would insure the erection of such
works as would reduce any and all
kinds of ore and save cost of carriage
and many other items of expense TO
the owners of the many small mines
in this country, who cannot now at

What Would follow.

Were such a thing possible as the
substitution of chemical for ANNA
and vegetable food, some very curious
results would follow. An article in
a scientific journal says that the man
of the future will be toothless and
hairless. AS there will be no need
for teeth in assimiating nutrient
that will probably be liquid in form,
the human teeth might, from want of
use disappear or become rudimentary.
Then fat people would disappear, for
chemistry would control the condi.
tons which lead to the formation of
adipose tissue. Ii there would be less
work for the human stomach, the alb.
domen would diminish in size, while,
possibly, the lungs might be still fur
ther enlarged. Bnt the general diges
tive apparatus would be in better
shape, as the chemistry of food could
De adapted to every variety of system.
This all may seem very wild, but in
view of what science has done in the
world about US, what may it not &C.
complish, when its improved and i'm
proving processes are applied directly
